Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

Tom Selleck isn't to old to play the part again...he just can't wear those beach shorts anymore!
He's probably going to need a stunt double for all that jumping in and out of that thar Ferrari thing he drives, tho.

Hollywood is having a difficult time coming up with anything original aren't they?

That's ok by me. the old stuff is good, mostly.
All we need now is a Knight Rider movie.

Hmph - It wasn't good even when it was original, so I guess that makes the remakes even more pathetic.

Maybe Tom Selleck could play a father or uncle figure, like James Garner did in the Maverick movie. (Although James Garner will ALWAYS be Maverick for me, even though I think Mel Gibson is a hunk.)

I cannot, for the life of me, think of anything worse than Magnum P.I...

Why anybody , in their right mind, would want to make that unmitigated crap into a film is beyond me.

There are times when my little mind boggles.

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

As someone who gave up television over a dozen years ago and doesn't miss it, I must say I look back at Magnum PI as one of the high points of my viewing experience. I'm not sure what, exactly, that means given the nature of them medium, though. :o

Tell us something.: I've been with Chiff and Fipple since shortly after I bought my first low D. I've learned loads from this community, and I intend to continue to learn and contribute. Many thanks to Dale and everyone who makes this site happen.

How about Ben Affleck? I always thought the show was fay-gay...one of those shows that wasn't openly gay but was so if you wanted it to be...like Frasier, with the 2 dandy 'brothers'. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
